Patient and Public Involvement and Engagement

Welcome to our patient and public involvement and engagement page.

This page highlights how Mobilise-D was guided by patients throughout the duration of the project, and indeed, continues to be as we progress our work further.

Patient and Public Involvement and Engagement are critically important for all research projects to make sure that the patient perspective is embedded in all stages of the process.

We could only ensure our success by working with people that the research aims to benefit.
In Mobilise-D we have worked closely alongside people with multiple sclerosis, Parkinson’s disease, chronic obstructive pulmonary disease and people recovering from hip fracture.

On this page, you will find resources about how we designed our patient and public involvement structures and what lessons we have learned from this which can be used by researchers looking to design similar structures. We also have several videos which have been co-designed with patient advisors to highlight the importance of walking, how patient data was used in the study, and the impact that patient involvement has had on the work for Mobilise-D.
